Al-Sandwich

The rigidity of the aluminium aluminum combined with the damping of a cellulose layer - thanks to aluminium aluminum sandwich technology, the audio reproduction achieved by ELAC bass drivers is very precise.

In a special glueing procedure, an aluminium foil of 0.2 mm is joint to a pulp fibre cone to form a sandwich membrane.
The result: reduced partial oscillations, no distortions and an optimized large signal behaviour.
In combination with the aluminum-coloured tweeters, the aluminum sandwich woofers also make innovative technology a visual experience.

JET

High definition audio: ELAC’s JET tweeter fascinates listeners with its dynamic and authentic audio, offering lots of headroom with a distinctly wider frequency range than conventional dome tweeters.

The ELAC JET tweeter is one of the most legendary tweeters in the hi-fi trade and has won international renown with its unusual transparent and effortless sound image.

The JET tweeter was developed to perfection on the basis of the famous 'Air Motion Transformer' by loudspeaker pioneer Dr Oskar Heil. Its principle: a concertinaed foil membrane is driven by a strong magnet system of neodymium rods.
This 'motor' drives the air considerably faster than the conventional pistonic technique. High sensitivity and extraordiary dynamics are the result.
Due to many additional design changes (e.g. new neodymium magnet system) a higher efficiency and a smoother sound pressure level frequency response up to 50 kHz was achieved.
The core of the JET tweeter is the folded foil membrane. With a fold width of only 0.84 mm, a major requirement in the JET production is precision. To guarantee the repetition accuracy and unchanging quality even with high output, this production step has been automised. The folding and fixing of the membrane, however, are executed by hand, since for production steps requiring special dexterity human manual skills are irreplaceable.
Only the glueing and handling are now executed by two SCARA robots.
The absolutely reliable precision of the robot in glueing and handling thus ideally supplements the irreplaceable work by hand.
Due to continuous improvement, the JET III tweeter now creates an effortless and airy resonance-free image up to 50,000 Hz, and with its linear frequency response is ideally suited for the reproduction of DVD-A and SACD.

Magn. Shielding

Watch television without having distorted color - thanks to magnetic shielding these ELAC speakers can be installed right next to CRT screens or devices with hard drives sensitive to magnets.

Thanks to the magnetic shielding, these speakers can also be set up in proximity to cathode ray tube TVs or devices with integrated hard disks or attached to them without creating interference.

Paint Mask

Want to paint the frame of your in-wall speaker? Simply apply the mask, add paint and it's finished, with no annoying spots of paint on the visible front.

The transparent paint masking stencil film supplied enables easy and individual painting of the grille and frame to suit your individual requirements.

Sealed Install Box

Simple assembly, defined volume - the back box for in-wall speakers guarantees optimal ELAC audio and protects the speaker from dirt.

The sealed enclosure optimizes the bass response while it minimizes the dust build up internally.

ELAC In-wall loudspeakers are ideal for lightweight walls and ceilings.

The installation cover and the front grille can be painted according to your requirements.

Assembly dimensions:
height 275 mm, width 190 mm, depth 105 mm.
Projection including grille: 10 mm

Finish: arctic white

Treble Adjust

Want more or less treble from your in-wall speakers? The ELAC control allows you to adjust this to your personal preferences or room conditions.

The wall loudspeakers are provided with a tweeter level adjustment control. The standard position is '0 dB' and it can be used for most applications. If the tweeter output is too strong at the listening position, it can be reduced by 2 dB (position '-2dB').
It can also be increased by 2 dB (position '+2dB'), if more trebles is desired.
